Old Fashioned Oatmeal Cookies....

It's no secret, I LOVE BAKING!!!!! This past weekend, I decided to make an old favorite of ours- Old Fashioned Oatmeal Cookies. (Am I the only one that thinks cookies seem healthier when oats are involved? Ha!)

And I have got to share my mixer with y'all. I always wanted a big KitchenAid stand mixer, but at our old house, I had ZERO storage for one. So Mr U sweetly bought me a KitchenAid hand mixer instead. I LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!! I've been using it over 10 years and I haven't had the first problem with it.

Before this mixer, I had two other hand mixers. What happened to them? I broke them BOTH (as in they were smoking!!!!) while making the same recipe- a delicious Butter Pecan Cream Cheese Icing. No joke. Same recipe caused the motors to burn out on two different hand mixers. Sooooo when I finally got my KitchenAid hand mixer, what do you think was the first recipe I tried? Yep, the Butter Pecan Cream Cheese Icing. Guess what? IT DIDN'T BREAK!!!!!!!! Soooo this wonderful KitchenAid hand mixer has been a dream come true for me!! YAY!!

My daughter has a Quisenart (sp?) hand mixer that I just love for meringue. She has beaters like your cookie beaters. I was afraid they might not stand up to cookie dough. It's still in the box because it's in her hope chest. I just broke my stand Kitchenaid whip and needed to be able to make meringue.

There is nothing better than a great Oatmeal Cookie and your recipe looks delicious. Thanks so much for sharing this awesome recipe with us at Full Plate Thursday and hope you will come back soon!Miz Helen
